Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean Group just dropped a loyalty bombshell that's making Carnival look absolutely foolish by comparison.

You can now earn loyalty points on any of the three brands and apply them wherever you want.

This builds on the status match program from 2024, which already let you use your tier level across brands, but points choice takes it nuclear.

Meanwhile, Carnival's switching to spending based rewards in September, and everyone hates it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the online form within 14 days after sailing to decide where your loyalty points go.
Do nothing if you want points to automatically stay with your current program.
